Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels believes that reducing the price of admission is essential for the country’s clubs if they are to increase attendances, and he has called on First Minister Alex Salmond to play a part by compensating for any...

This being a Scottish story in The Telegraph I naturally looked for the misinformation and distortions. But it seems this guy really does expect public subsidies for a business notorious for excess and profligacy.

I trust the First Minister will tell Shiels where to go in terms more appropriate to the terraces than the debating chamber.

Oil and gas explorer Hurricane Energy has successfully produced oil from its Lancaster well west of Shetland, a remote area between Scotland and the Faroe islands which holds a fifth of Britains untapped oil and gas resources.

The UK economy is recovering slowly and, as the UK General Election looms, the main Westminster parties are trying to trump one another on budget cuts promises. The Tories are claiming they will reduce the deficit through cuts but without major tax rises. Labour has responded by voting with the Tories on budget cuts, but telling anyone that will listen “don’t worry it won’t affect the NHS”. So keen is Labour to convince the voters that they are not going to bust Britain (again) they even use rapid rebuttals to prove they will cut as deeply as the Tories. My favourite example was the Labour press team tweet “p.44 of Tory dossier says Labour will cancel cuts to the arts budget. We won’t.” This sort of statement might go down well in the South East, but Labour emphasising its commitment to continued austerity is a gift to the SNP.
